You're looking at it all wrong. We're not really looking for other star races to join in a galactic alliance. We're looking for a new home in the hopes that we won't all be extinct before we've developed the technology to leap to other stars. Ironically, it is the development of this tech that will make this, our first home, the polluted cesspool that no one will want to live on. May God have mercy on any inhabitants of that planet once we get there.
I looked everywhere, but could not find the matching Player's Handbook for IT employees. And is the company going to hit us up for a million different manuals on things from how to run an email server campaign to how an SQL admin prestige class should be played, or will it only be the core books including the Monster Manual. I expect that last book should be very complete this time and not leave out such beasts as:

Yes, but if you can find out what it is that you are predisposed to, you might not be cured, but you may be able to soften the blow for later in life. And it can help you plan - forget the 401K, save for the cremation - or go on a shooting rampage at work!
Let's not forget that the cure can come later on, or knowing the predisposition may inspire someone to push for research on the cure.
The future is that we will all have little XML files of our genome that we downloaded from mygenome.org after returning in a $5 test kit that posts a MyGenome link for your MySpace account that says "I have blah blah!" and will update once something is available to help you with "Click here to purchase a cure".
And even if you don't die of it, your children can more easily know what they should avoid cutting their lives short.
I'm more concerned that this is yet another scheme that continues to erode the remaining topsoil from our farmable areas. Sure, farmers can buy all the fertilizer they want, but that's petroleum based and doesn't really fully replenish the topsoil. These farms will eventually only be good for selling off to make more overpriced homes. Then what? That's a more immediate threat than global warming, because when these farms stop producing, there is going to be a lot of starvation.
Sometimes people just want to scratch their own itch. Firefox gives them that opportunity and they jump for it. IE does not and it becomes uncomfortable to itch so much. The funny thing is that during their salad days, had Microsoft been open about it and swallowed their pride for a few months, people would have found and fixed their bugs at a much faster rate than has been the case so far. Now everyone has that bad IE taste in their mouth and are just walking away. I don't see IE7 being any different.
You are correct. Screening didn't stop Nowak, and we don't know of how many others are borderline. The fact is that someone willing to sit on top of what is practically a controlled bomb for a ride hundreds of miles into space is going to have a certain amount of loony in them. Now take into account how many astronauts are willing to take the next leap into being someone who will be trapped in a can for months with two other roommates and CANNOT be voted off the island no matter how berserk they get, and no contact with other humans for months. You're going to have some fringe candidates, no matter what.
I say that whoever is going to go on this mission needs to be a complete introvert who does not need constant human interaction and can while away their time on experiments and reading. A bunch of people with mild Asperger's might fit the mold.
Is that then the future of humanity as we head for the stars? People who aren't the mainstream definition of human who can tolerate the extreme rigors will be the ones on worlds that survive this world. It was true back in the days of wagon pioneers and will be true in the days of space caravans.

So what we need to understand is what steps we can take to back up email from GMail. Obviously if we are doing POP, we are no longer talking about using the GMail interface, so that is not a solution. We can run a POP app in the background without removing mail from the server so that local backup solutions can have a chance at the data, but that's a pretty heavy app to run to ensure this. We need some way of having a backup of that data, but if I have to keep my 2GB GMail acct local or wait for the data to sync before deleting mails.
Yes, this is very much about control. I can back up a local server and keep copies off site. Yes, a major catastrophe has the potential to wipe me out, but those are very, very few and far between. For all those other occasions, a backup copy will be available for recovery. If you are losing mail more often than that or have people frequently requesting restores of mail, you need to revise your support policy. And if the data is important enough, then you can get into cross-site replication for geographically diverse off site storage. And if that giant meteor hits... well email will be the least of our worries.
Or, for this to work would require a transparent proxy appliance that would filter for certain known domains (updated by subscription services, of course) and add the tag for you. Better to allow you through so that HR can convict you than to block it altogether. If you don't know, this type censorship already exists in the work place - Google for Bluecoat and friends. One could argue that's where it belongs - the only place it belongs.
But then if you are a big enough shop that you are worried about the impact to your business apps, just block IE7 in AD with Microsoft's IE7 Blocker Toolkit. Or simply do not approve that patch in WSUS... you are using Micrsoft's free WSUS to regulate what patches hit your enterprise, right? http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65788

Heh, China is going to endure the India Effect, which happened when the US outsourced to Indian firms. All we need to do now is pull the rug out and shift it to China. Indian workers are now forever comfortable with that nice plush salary, yet unsupportable after foreign companies pull out. Lather rinse and repeat in China. That leaves for unrestive local populations that demand more. If it's not more $$$ it will be more freedoms. Something will break.
You say the US would never pull out of these places? Another bubble burst would do it. POP! Then watch massive Indian and Chinese offices get closed overnight. Then what?
Illegaly copied? Legality involves the law, a two way street in itself, where both parties agree to certain rules. If the Chinese, no matter what agreements they've made on paper, decide not to respect US copyright or IP, where do we have to respect theirs?
One single reason. Accessing the same reader from multiple locations: home, office, PDA. Keep your RSS feeds in Firefox and I guarantee that as the list of feeds grows you won't be able to remember which articles you have and have no read. A lot of the online readers are too damn slow and don't support all the features I want. That's why I use MonkeyChow. Tons of features, keeps articles around as long as I want, and open source PHP.
Woohoo. You can aggregate feeds with a number of readers like MonkeyChow (http://www.monkeychow.org). If you really want to see RSS feeds from too many web sites, just load it up and watch yourself be overloaded by the "River of Information". Or just be sane and pick the few you really want to read.
